Moving between continents one realises the amount of stuff collected over a lifetime. I really need to lighten the load, while I may part with the objects, the memories of many happy hours spent collecting them will remain forever.

This representative sample of the more common  gastropods and bivalves were collected over the course of two decades from the classic Eocene site of Highcliffe / Barton on Sea along the southern coast of the UK, from the Barton Clay Formation. Unfortunately with the newly built sea defences the site is becoming less and less productive.
